(garbage-collect)
memory-usage.el makes it human readable.
I used to have lots of memory issues. At the time I made the following
notes:
- create a memory meter in the modeline, then it would at least be
possible to see when memory is consumed, and maybe get a clue.
- modify the garbage collector, to make some form of dump to a file,
when the mark stage occurs. (this is like the "jhat" java tool)
- modify the garb so as to flag an object for pretend delete. then a
pretend garb would be done, and a measure of how much memory would be
reclaimed if that object was to be deleted would be returned.
